Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. However, in different contexts, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include Platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.
Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love". As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.

Wow the word "L-O-V-E"!! Such a small word but a huge meaning. It all depends on how you look at it. Love to me is a feeling that not only warms the heart but the soul. Hearing the word love come from the mouth of the one you love is a speechless feeling. It makes you smile when you think of it maybe even day dream. I feel you have to be or been in love with someone in order to get the real meaing of it. Wanting to spend your life with your "love".
Knowing the word love is very important and this world could use a lot of it.

Love is friendship. You don't have to have a romantic involvement. You just need to share a mutual respect for each other and enjoy some common activities. If the romance comes with it, then it's all the sweeter.

Love to me is unconditional.
Through thick and thin without a doubt stand by the person who makes u happy and content. Someone you cant be without.
Someone who makes you feel great, makes you smile all the time, someone who respects you and puts you before anyone else.
It is hard to find and something everyone longs for.

Love to me is simply the ability to look at my girl and saying that i'm willing to go to hell and back to stay with her, as hokey as it sounds. but if i can't suffer for my love then who? pardon me but i must go be sick now

Being able to be yourself, being comfortable, not being able to imagine yourself with anyone else
